Since the beginning of the 20th century, destroyers have formed the backbone of the United States Navy. In peacetime, they performed such day-to-day tasks such as delivering mail and patrolling America's coastline. However, with the outbreak of World War II, the destroyers were called upon to form the front-line against America's enemies.
